-install
Perform installation, assuming that the current working directory contains the release
directories. Without further options, the configuration is that of a Personal HTCondor, a
complete one-machine pool. If used as an upgrade within an existing installation directory,
existing configuration files and local directory are preserved. This is the default behavior of
condor_install.
-install-dir=<path>
Specifies the path where HTCondor should be installed or the path where it already is
installed. The default is the current working directory.
-prefix=<path>
This is an alias for -install-dir.
-local-dir=<path>
Specifies the location of the local directory, which is the directory that generally contains
the local (machine-specific) configuration file as well as the directories where HTCondor
daemons write their run-time information (spool, log, execute). This location is indicated by
the LOCAL_DIR variable in the configuration file. When installing (that is, if -install is
specified), condor_configure will properly create the local directory in the location
specified. If none is specified, the default value is given by the evaluation of
$(RELEASE_DIR)/local.$(HOSTNAME).
During subsequent invocations of condor_configure (that is, without the -install option), if
the -local-dir option is specified, the new directory will be created and the log, spool and
execute directories will be moved there from their current location.
-make-personal-condor
Installs and configures for Personal HTCondor, a fully-functional, one-machine pool.
-bosco Installs and configures Bosco, a personal HTCondor that submits jobs to remote batch systems.
-type=<submit,execute,manager>
One or more of the types may be listed. This determines the roles that a machine may play in a
pool. In general, any machine can be a submit and/or execute machine, and there is one central
manager per pool. In the case of a Personal HTCondor, the machine fulfills all three of these
roles.
-central-manager=<hostname>
Instructs the current HTCondor installation to use the specified machine as the central
manager. This modifies the configuration variable COLLECTOR_HOST to point to the given host
name. The central manager machine's HTCondor configuration needs to be independently configured
to act as a manager using the option -type=manager.
-owner=<ownername>
Set configuration such that HTCondor daemons will be executed as the given owner. This modifies
the ownership on the log, spool and execute directories and sets the CONDOR_IDS value in the
configuration file, to ensure that HTCondor daemons start up as the specified effective user.
This is only applicable when condor_configure is run by root. If not run as root, the owner is
the user running the condor_configure command.
-maybe-daemon-owner
If -owner is not specified and no appropriate user can be found to run Condor, then this option
will allow the daemon user to be selected. This option is rarely needed by users but can be
useful for scripts that invoke condor_configure to install Condor.
-install-log=<file>
Save information about the installation in the specified file. This is normally only needed
when condor_configure is called by a higher-level script, not when invoked by a person.
-overwrite
Always overwrite the contents of the sbin directory in the installation directory. By default,
condor_install will not install if it finds an existing sbin directory with HTCondor programs
in it. In this case, condor_install will exit with an error message. Specify -overwrite or
-backup to tell condor_install what to do.
This prevents condor_install from moving an sbin directory out of the way that it should not
move. This is particularly useful when trying to install HTCondor in a location used by other
things (/usr, /usr/local, etc.) For example: condor_install-prefix=/usr will not move
/usr/sbin out of the way unless you specify the -backup option.
The -backup behavior is used to prevent condor_install from overwriting running daemons - Unix
semantics will keep the existing binaries running, even if they have been moved to a new
directory.
-backup
Always backup the sbin directory in the installation directory. By default, condor_install
will not install if it finds an existing sbin directory with HTCondor programs in it. In this
case, condor_install with exit with an error message. You must specify -overwrite or -backup to
tell condor_install what to do.
This prevents condor_install from moving an sbin directory out of the way that it should not
move. This is particularly useful if you're trying to install HTCondor in a location used by
other things (/usr, /usr/local, etc.) For example: condor_install-prefix=/usr will not move
/usr/sbin out of the way unless you specify the -backup option.
The -backup behavior is used to prevent condor_install from overwriting running daemons - Unix
semantics will keep the existing binaries running, even if they have been moved to a new
directory.
-ignore-missing-libs
Ignore missing shared libraries that are detected by condor_install. By default, condor_install
will detect missing shared libraries such as libstdc++.so.5 on Linux; it will print messages
and exit if missing libraries are detected. The -ignore-missing-libs will cause condor_install
to not exit, and to proceed with the installation if missing libraries are detected.
-force This is equivalent to enabling both the -overwrite and -ignore-missing-libs command line
options.
-no-env-scripts
By default, condor_configure writes simple sh and csh shell scripts which can be sourced by
their respective shells to set the user's PATH and CONDOR_CONFIG environment variables. This
option prevents condor_configure from generating these scripts.
-env-scripts-dir=<directory>
By default, the simple sh and csh shell scripts (see -no-env-scripts for details) are created
in the root directory of the HTCondor installation. This option causes condor_configure to
generate these scripts in the specified directory.
-credd Configure the the condor_credd daemon (credential manager daemon).
-verbose
Print information about changes to configuration variables as they occur.
